Bill's Oreo Ice Cream Pie

I first had this at Bill Lemire's house on Bainbridge Island. This recipe is so easy to make...no cooking or baking. You just layer and freeze the ingredients. I have doubled and tripled this recipe for large parties using a 9x12 pan. Sometimes I put a thick chocolate ganache on top instead of the Hershey's syrup. Your guests will love this one!

Crush the cookies. Melt butter and mix with cookies. Press into bottom of buttered pie plate. Pour softened ice cream into crust. Re-freeze for an hour until the ice cream firms up. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the pie before serving. Garnish with chopped nuts or additional crushed Oreos, if desired.
